I received the 3D print of the Blighter Quad Stug today. It is insane! It is so big. It dwarfs the vert tank. I took some pics of it next to the scale allied grunt. I have to get some molds made and start shipping these guys out. I can't wait to set these guys up in a battle scene. Now I totally have to make an allied bazooka trooper unit to help take these monsters out. Let me know what you think.
FYI the legs are separate so that I can cast them independently. I modeled in a little joint so that the legs can be attached at different angles. They fit so nicely I just slipped it together for the pics.

Rivet Land Battleship/Carrier
I've always been fascinated with land based battleships. The idea of a GIANT tank that is pretty much just a battleship with tracks sounds so cool. So I was watching starblazers the other day and that got me sketching some ideas and I decided that Rivet Wars needs one! Why hadn't I done this before?
So here is a really rough sketch and 3d model. It's similar to a Wasp Class Amphibious Assault Ship in that there is a runway so it can handle aircraft as well as a ramp in the stern for deploying troops. I added some big guns so it also has the firepower of a battleship. Oh and a giant drill like the sub in Atragon :) That's so it can go through mountains and obstacles. It's the Rivet version of a wave motion gun :) I'll do more design and sketching but I'm digging the feel of the massing and where it's going. Let me know what you think?
Will I make a toy of this? Absolutely. I'll probably make a smaller one to start, like 6" long maybe? I'd like it to come with a couple tiny planes and vert tanks that you could put on the deck. Making one to scale with the 55mm vert tanks would be pretty crazy but never say never...
